By Christopher Marlowe.
A version of Marlowe's play by Sue Wilson. The year is 1537 and an inquiry is in progress into the events which led up to the horrifying death of Dr Faustus and the rumours of his pact with the Devil. Anthea Gomez's score creates a different vision of the hell which Mephostophiles can conjure.
Music by Anthea Gomez performed by the composer and Tim New (Rpt)
